Chapter 12
Chicago, County General Hospital
Becca and Claire walked up to the desk and saw their respective doctor's standing at the admit desk. Becca admitted to herself that she was a little scared of what was about to happen. The ER had calmed down and little was happening, and what was happening was already being done by the nurses and the few patients had been seen and were being given discharge information from their nurses. Chuny and Sam stood in the room where the man had gotten hit by a softball and were given him a splint and some painkillers and told them to come back in a week to have it rechecked.
"Should we be scared," Becca said as the came to the admit desk. The look of concerned had disappeared from Neela and Abby's faces and they seemed shock that they would think that they were in trouble.
"Oh, no why would you think that?" Abby said.
"I don't know, maybe the way you were staring at us a couple of minutes ago," Claire said.
"Don't be so worried," Neela said, "we just wanted to say that after the hectic trauma that had come in we glad the way that you handled it,"
"You are," Becca said surprised, "You pushed me off into another room and told me to help Dr. Kovac,"
"And you yelled at me," Claire said toward Neela.
"Well," Abby started, "I'm glad the way you two handle the trauma,"
"Well, that's a start," Claire stated as she looked toward Neela.
"Should I expect an apology from either one of you?" Becca asked.
"Well, not exactly right now, but you do deserve one," Abby began to admit.
It wasn't like them to be like this toward two new medical students. Neela began to think back on the time that she was a new medical student and how unaware she was and what she wanted to do. She hadn't been quite sure that her family would of accepted her as a doctor and she didn't want to put that impression on the new students that seemed to be doing so much better.
"Let's focus on some patients," Dr. Kovac stated as he walked up to the admit desk and handed the students some charts. The confortation ended as everyone walked away from the desk and continued to work on some new patients.
